The PEAK TS2054-150 aluminum, handheld, 150x stand microscope has an inch-scale reticle with 0.0002" divisions and 0.035" measuring range for measuring the thickness, height, or depth of specimens. The microscope has 150x magnification, a 0.038" field of view, and a 0.36" working distance. A rack-and-pinion system with coaxial focus knobs focuses specimens and a diopter-adjustable eyepiece focuses the built-in reticle. Lens coatings provide color correction to ensure full contrast. An adjustable penlight attached to base can be adjusted to provide hands-free illumination (requires two AA batteries, included). The die-cast aluminum base provides durability for field and classroom use. The microscope is 6-49/64 x 2-61/128 inches (H x W), and includes a custom storage case. (H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right.)

Microscopes are instruments used to enhance the resolution of an object or image. Types include compound, stereo, or digital. Compound microscopes use a compound optical system with an objective lens and an eyepiece. Stereo microscopes show object depth in a three-dimensional image. Digital microscopes are used to display an image on a monitor, rather than looking through a lens. Microscopes can have monocular (one), binocular (two), or trinocular (three) eyepieces, with varying magnification abilities. Magnification ability refers to the size of an image. Resolution, also known as resolvant power, refers to the clarity of the image. The interaction between field of view (FOV), numerical aperture (NA), and working distance (WD) determines resolution. Microscopes can control magnification through a fixed focus, or through a range of adjustments. They can also utilize LED, fluorescent, and mirror light sources to help control viewing capabilities. Microscopes are widely used in education, lab research, biology, metallurgy, engineering, chemistry, manufacturing, and in the medical, forensic science, and veterinary industries. PEAK produces optical glass and equipment such as microscopes and loupes. The company, founded in 1950, is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. What�s in the Box?
